Damages - 28k including shipping...

Actually this got bit exploited by other person before it came to my hands...

But the magnitude of exploitation was so less that I felt like it deserve a show off

Just a query, can a macro named lens be used for normal portraits?

As said in earlier post, I got it from some other person, after he exploited a bit...
so I guess he can only tell the exact dealer name.. I will let you know after asking from him

He said he got it from foto centre

Nice.... Where did you get it from?

Ragz: Macro lenses are the sharpest, and great for portraits.

 

[ashvarybabul]

Thanxx Amal and Sahil..

@Sahil - indirectly it came from Fotocentre

They are great in the digital age where you can actually tone down sharpness. In the film age, people avoided macro lenses for portraits as there was no way to 'photoshop' the image to tone down the sharpness and showcase all the flaws of a persons face.
